Bollocks. McCain is truly a bitter, angry man. He doesn't have the kind of class it would take to make a former enemy his running mate. It will take an awful lot of convincing by his aides that it's the best/only way to win the election.

But I don't give it good odds.

It would seem unlikely at this point, but stranger things have happened in politics.

In 1960, John F. Kennedy took on a polar opposite, Lyndon B. Johnson, as his running mate. LBJ delivered Texas, and JFK became President.

I'm smiling now. I called a McCain-Romney ticket back in Nov. of 2006. I hope it happens. Give Romney the foreign experience he needs to step up later.

It will be McCain and Huckabee for the republicans, and the democrats will win the election.

Romney would be a fool to accept the VP position. With McCain as the Repub nominee, it's almost assured that the Demo's are going to take the White House. Romney is smart enough not to be tainted by a McCain loss and end up like John Edwards. He will lay in the weeds for four years and take it in 2012.

A Romney-McCain ticket would be political suicide for Romney. Let McCain have his day and Romney can build up and be ready for 2012.

I think Romney would add a lot to the ticket - to help offset McCain's lack of economic background and he would be a stabilizing force compared to McCain's "loose cannon" profile. It will be interesting to see how LDS people react if McCain chooses the anti-Mormon Huckabee. Will Mormons vote for an anti-Mormon person?

McCain offering the VP slot to Romney would be an act of magnanimity that belies his reputation for pettiness and spite among his Senate colleagues. It would be a binding commitment to support conservative political positions that would give concrete reassurance to conservatives. Mike Huckabee on McCain's ticket would appeal to Huckabee's narrow constituency, but it would repel many in the West, enough so that Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho and Montana would not be enthusiastic about the ticket and could be lost. Given the narrow margins of the 2000 and 2004 elections, it's hard to believe McCain could win without those states. And the combined appeal of McCain and Romney would win the support of Southern Republicans without Huckabee. Huckabee is a liberal on economic issues, as is McCain, so a McCain-Huckabee ticket would not appeal at all to economic conservatives. And in the general election, Romney would add a lot more credibility to the ticket than Huckabee, who has no appeal in the North, East or West.

I don't see this happening. McCain would be more likely to pick a like-minded cronie. I wouldn't be surprised to see a McCain/Lieberman or McCain/Graham (Lindsay) ticket.

I agree with others that the GOP is doomed this year, especially if Obama gets the nomination.

It's not likely, but it would be a good move on McCains part for a few reasons.
-Mitt's record has already been combed over and you would not have to battle any new developments.
-Mitt already has support of conservatives (whereas Mac falls short).
-Mitt gives more economic credibility (Irag & Economy will likely be the top issues).
-I would show Mac can work with both sides of the isle (yes, even republicans!)
-Mac wouldn't have face the embarrassement of losing Utah to the democrats.

I know I would NOT vote for an Anti-Mormon person like Huckabee I would rather vote Democrat Obama.So I guess McCain is the only otion this time round.
